my current adventures

what i truly am

photographing and traveling

Traveler and vagabond by heart, someone who

believes more in becoming than being, voraciously
open to new experiences and change. Compulsive
learner and ideator, passionate about poetic
naturalism and evolutionary existentialism.

Currently into documentary photography

and visual storytelling, writing and
philosophy, intermedia art and upcycling.
My studies were related to emotions in artificial
intelligence, but more than being an ex-engineer
and creator of fluffy robots, my backgrounds are
social entrepreneurship and human-centered
design. Started various social and artistic projects in
Portugal and spent two years in rural India working
with low-caste tribes. Then hitchhiked for 1.5 years
across 9 countries in Asia, around 18.000km with
322 different unknown rides, in order to mingle
with local people, learn the culture and study
philosophy and literature by my own.
Lover of art and tintin adventures, voluntary simplicity

and lynch characters, synesthesia and metaphors. My

heroes are Cage, Camus, Epicurus, Heraclitus, Nietzsche,
Spinoza and Thoreau. With an acute addiction to chilli,
coffee and guavas. They are kind of contagious .
